Preparations For Jacking
• Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• Set the parking brake and shift the automatic transmission into PARK.
• Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
• Block both the front and rear of the
wheel diagonally opposite of the
jacking position. For example, if
changing the right front tire, block the
left rear wheel.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions
• Remove the spare tire, jack and tools from their stored location.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise
one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the
extension, then to the lug wrench.
• Place the jack:
• For front wheels, place the jack and protective cap right under the triangle on
the body flange, just behind the front tire.
